This Saturday, Dala Nasser’s Cemetery of Martyrs opens at Peer in London, presenting a new iteration of her installation currently on view at KM21.

The installation features a canopy of dyed and marked fabrics layered over an expansive wooden structure, turning the gallery into a symbolic graveyard. The body of work incorporates charcoal rubbings collected from the gravestones and sites of seminal artists and intellectuals from across the Middle East, UK, and US, who all spent time in Beirut, Lebanon.

Dala Nasser considers the land as a witness to histories erased or destroyed. Black and green mourning fabrics, dyed and marked with natural elements from the earth, such as shells, seeds, ash, and crushed malachite, are layered amongst cyan blue and charcoal black fabrics. Embodying the role of archivist, architect, and cartographer, Nasser configures a space to gather buried voices of the past, reaffirming the power of culture, humanity, and resistance.

Dala Nasser - Cemetery of Martyrs

With her work, Nasser pays homage to more than forty influential writers, poets, artists, filmmakers, journalists and historians who fought for cultural, social and political freedom during from the Nahda (also known as the Arab Renaissance) to the present day. This cultural movement flourished in the late 19th and early 20th century in Arab speaking countries now known as Lebanon, Egypt, Syria and Tunisia, among others.

Black-and-white charcoal rubbings of graves, blue cyanotypes marked with names, green blankets and black shrouds hang from large wooden constructions - each representing different figures.

Dala Nasser uses natural materials such as pigment, shells and stones from specific landscapes – in this case from the sites of the graves she visited. In this way, the exhibition Cemetery of Martyrs connects various cultures and regions, particularly those in West Asia.

Dala Nasser’s first solo exhibition in the Netherlands is on display at KM21 now.
